The White House Mess: President Trump tweets while Washington burns. “The FAKE MSM is working so hard trying to get me not to use Social Media. They hate that I can get the honest and unfiltered message out.”

Part of the message he’d like you to ignore is that he’s having a hard time convincing people to work for him, and he’s not getting along with some who already are.

The Washington Post reports that Trump can’t get someone to run the FBI. Several candidates have backed out.

Trump is even having trouble getting lawyers to work for him. Michael Isikoff of Yahoo! News writes that a “consistent theme, the sources said, was the concern about whether the president would accept the advice of his lawyers and refrain from public statements and tweets that have consistently undercut his position.”

One illustration: Trump tweeted that his immigration order was a “travel ban,” contrary to what the Justice Department has argued, and weakening his case before the Supreme Court.

But Trump blames the Justice Department and Attorney General Jeff Sessions for offering up a “politically correct” substitute for the immigration order, even though it came from Trump himself. Several outlets report that Trump is furious with Sessions for recusing himself from the Russia investigation and blames him for the chain of events that led to Trump firing FBI Director James Comey.

The NY Times reports that Sessions in recent weeks offered to resign if he couldn’t do his job independently.

The Post’s Jennifer Rubin muses that Trump is melting down in anticipation of Comey’s testimony tomorrow before the Senate Intelligence Committee. It’s going to be carried live by all the major networks and cable television, promising one of those memorable moments like the Watergate and Anita Hill hearings.

Rubin says, “In the case of Comey, however, the witness is on offense — prepared to tell a damaging story — and not merely fencing with incompetent blowhards on a committee. Moreover, with Comey we don’t know what he is going to say or even what topics he will discuss. Will he stick to the tale of possible obstruction or also delve into evidence of collusion?” Rubin says Comey has the potential to bring down the president.

Hello, Friend: Bill Cosby’s accuser, Andrea Constand, testified yesterday that she was drugged and raped by the comedian when she was an employee of Cosby’s Alma Mater, Temple University.

Constand said Cosby gave her pills and told her, “These will help you relax. He said put them down. They are your friends. They will take the edge off.” She said that after he offered wine, her vision became blurry and she couldn’t walk.

At the trial in Norristown, Pa., Constand said she kept in touch with Cosby after the incident because he was a powerful trustee of the University where she worked in the athletic department.

Cosby has said that any drug taking, and subsequent sex, was consensual.

Do It: A 20-year-old Massachusetts woman is going on trial on charges of involuntary manslaughter for encouraging her high school boyfriend to commit suicide

“When you get back from the beach you’ve gotta do it. You’re ready.”

“Okay, I will,” Roy, 18, answered. “No more thinking.”

“Yes, no more thinking,” Carter wrote. “You need to just do it.”

Roy was found dead of carbon monoxide poisoning in his truck. Although suicide is voluntary, the prosecution accuses Carter of causing Roy to do something he might not otherwise have done.
